From Classic Cars to Cancel Culture — Kurt’s No-Filter Ride Through Life

Loading player...
13.08.2025 pt 2 In a wide-ranging and unapologetically honest chat, comedian Kurt takes us from the smell of leather bench seats in classic cars to the uncomfortable sting of racism, making the case for humor as a bridge between people. Along the way, he rips into modern cars’ soulless designs, the quirks of South Africa’s “celebrity” class, and why some insults sting more in certain cultures than others. There’s no sacred cow — whether it’s customer service disasters, the politics of apologies, or the absurdity of cancel culture, Kurt calls it as he sees it.

The conversation swerves between personal and political — one minute dissecting the global decline of genuine fame through the lens of Will Smith, the next debating the raw power of swear words and whether censoring them just makes them stronger. From the grind of running a comedy club to the difference between killing it on stage versus online, it’s a masterclass in navigating the modern cultural minefield — all ending with a hilariously bittersweet sign-off about birthdays, ghosted dates, and funeral fashion.
